No problem. Β I love your whole gallery and recently I noticed people are looking in my "favorites" folder, which I never expected anyone to do. Β I guess people think I have good taste? Β Anyways I figure I may as well and a few more.

I do feel there should be some retro star trek battle music going on to this struggle. I think out of the covers so far you've made, this just about tips being my fav, not sure poor 42X will agree though, looks like someone got the jump on him. Great cover though dude, love the lighting effect and its great to see classic covers remade with DU characters and your Vigil

I think this one is te best one, too! Just the concept of the cover - that Walt Simonson knows what he's doing!

LOL - It had to be done after I remembered this cover and thought of Psi from the last cover's corner box! Have you used her yet anywhere? I couldn't find anything but the bio. Should we get these two together, or would that be a really bad idea? Really pleased you like it and thanks for the

the only place i have used her is in the "prequel to power and might" folder in my gallery. not a lot of exposure so far, but with your fanart and 's within days of each other, i may have to dust her off and enter her into a story somewhere.

I'm up for a DU crossover between the two psychics if you are! If we can think of a good story that we can do that isn't too long of course!

Looking good K, you chose some great covers to pay homage to!

I think so! With source material this good, it's very easy! Walt Simonson is a god! Did you read his Orion series? It's a masterclass in how to draw comics. (oh yes, and thanks for the

I don't think I ever read that series, may have to take a look!

It's brilliant. I'm not really a DC person but the series is pretty self contained.

Epic cover! I'd like to read that comic!
...Man, with all the great battle happening between Vigil and Psi, I almost didn't notice Agent 42x laid out in the background there.

Yeah me too - I'm sort of hoping sees it and gets inspired! LOL! Thanks for the kind words and the

Nice....I love a good cat fight....
I guess they are fighting over 42x, but get too caught up in a fight that they end up knocking him out without even noticing. XD Great job on this!

LOL!!! Yeah I hadn't thought of it like that, but he really does seem overlooked, doesn't he! Poor guy shouldn't have tried to get between them!

Can't exactly blame him for being so handsome,that two women with psychic powers are fighting over him. Maybe he shouldn't have double date next time,Now they have to dance without him.

What I love about your cover choices is that they're not current. I get fond memories of seeing covers I haven't seen in years. Once again, you made another great cover here!

LOL!!! Way to make me feel old! You young whippersnappers and your modern comics...! lol! Seriously, any ideas for more suitable DU Vigil covers gratefully appreciated - I'm on a roll here!

Yeah, Jean Grey seems a popular Vigil substitute! Thanks for these!

Both are psychics, so it works fine. Hopefully, Vigil doesn't go crazy like Jean Grey, right?

Arguably, she's already crazy! lol!

I'd rather not say that to her face. Don't want to risk a mind wipe or brain-splosion.

Sorry, didn't mean to do that.

BTW - nice of you to place Agent 42X's face in the bottom left corner boxes of your covers.

oh, telepathic tango, i see! very nice transition from the original cover! (luckily yours doesn't look as weathered as the original, haha)

Wow! You're really going for it this month, are you?

These things are kind of addictive! I'm out of ideas at the moment though, so unless inspiration strikes again, this is the last one!
π: 0 β©: 1
There are other things to work on, I assume
As for me, I will pass this month.

LOL Hint taken! I've done a few sketches but so far nothing has really come together. You know me - it's the sketching out that takes the time - once I get an idea that works for me the actual picture comes together pretty quickly. We'll get there!

Never doubted that
However, I wouldn't be surprised if you indeed came up with one or two more ideas for this month's challenge.
